Bob -- I tried to send the following direct, but it was rejected -- new
e-mail address??

I have used the "spacer on the axel" approach with great success for over
two years.  I found some tubing that just fits over the axel, and nearly
fills up the inner bore of the wheel.  It took a bit of work trimming to the
correct length so that the bearings were tight -- or better said, not loose.
About the same time I heard great things about Castrol Syntec grease.  I
used that also -- so it may be the combination.  It has gone through 2
annuals (pack bearings) and several checks when it was on jacks for
something else.  Everything is great.

By the way, I finally ran out of Castrol Syntec grease and can't find any in
this area -- any out your way??

Regards,
    martell
